Problem with docker-compose and logstash

alxfernando · March 6, 2020, 8:05am

This error appears when I run a docker-compose with elasticsearch, kibana and logstash... I don't understand how to solve it

Hi

Apparently logstash cannot initialize the pipeline because the config file is either empty, misplaced or missing.

Please post your pipelines.yml so we can see where the file should be and go from there.

Hope this helps.

this is the docker-compose, what I want is to simply load my custom logstash configuration files ... logstash.conf, I'm not working with pipeline.yml

That means it will concatenate every file in that directory to create the configuration. Apparently it is objecting to the first byte of the first file in the directory.

ITIC · March 9, 2020, 7:24am

Hi

It seems you are forcing a different path to the config from the one hardcoded in the docker image you are using (/usr/share/logstash/pipeline).

Please post the contents of you /config-dir directory. Something is wrong with one or more of those .yml files, which both @Badger and myself tried to tell you.

Also, comment out that command: logstash -f /config-dir line and see if logstash starts properly (without your pipeline config, of course). If it does, please post your pipelines.yml, which you'll find in /usr/share/logstash/config inside your logstash container.

Hope this helps

thanks ... I had a problem with the container folder.
Now I have the problem that the logstash container stops, these are the logs.

this is the configuration file

elasticsearch {

}

Hi

Your logstash is exepecting input from stdin. If it doesn't get anything, it simply stops, not having anything to do anymore.

Try using, e.g., a csv you have lying around, with the file{} input plugin and commenting out your elasticsearch{} otuput, just leave the stdout{}active to see what you get. The service should stay up listening for changes to your file. Every time you add a new line to the file logstash should see it and give you some output.

If you get the same behaviour, mybe your pipeline is not where you expect it to be. Run the container like this:

docker run -ti logstash bash

This will give you a prompt inside the container and you will be able to explore the filesystem, and check that all files are where they should be and are properly configured. You should check your pipelines.yml and your pipeline files.

You can check the documentation for input plugins here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html

For filter plugins: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/filter-plugins.html

Output plugins: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/output-plugins.html

And codec plugins: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/codec-plugins.html

Hope this helps you get started.

Thanks, the information was very helpful. Now I have this problem, I already had my dashboard created and after restarting the services it doesn't show me anything ...this is the message in the search bar

Hi

This seems to be a Kibana issue. I'd suggest you open a new thread in that category.
